"What are your qualities!"

Thoughts & Lesson:
"Limitless like the ocean are your excellent qualities."~Dalai Lama

You are excellent, you are amazing, and as one of my favorite phrases goes:

"You are a unique, original, one-of-a-kind masterpiece."

Often we find that from our dreams not becoming reality, the struggles we face daily, the pains of loss and failure, and the fears wrapped up in each we forget how beautiful and powerful we are.

As a child it was an open sea of abilities to dream without limits and believe that we had those qualities in us and the abilities to do so much of what we dreamt. Yet be it the adults in our lives or just "growing up" the beliefs we held when we ere young usually don't hold as we grow to a more objective viewpoint as an adult.

Yet when you are able to let go of the tensions of the moment, and let your inner child dream you will find that just as the ocean is large so to are the abilities for you to still soar the heavens and see that each star, each reflected light upon the waves is a trait, a quality, an experience that is excellent.

The qualities you state of or about yourself are your choice, they are your own expressions not those of others. It is up to you to determine, decide, and live those qualities that you choose for yourself.

You are limitless in what qualities you adopt, what ones you use, and what ones you apply to the world around and within you. Let them be excellent qualities, let them be the qualities that give flight to the dreams and abilities of a child, to the love and lightness of springs first love, the strength of winds, and/or whatever ever you lead yourself to embrace. Remembering that it is yours to decide!

Meditation & Action:
Find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably. Bring your journal or a notepad with you to write out some questions before and after the meditation.

The questions to write are yours to alter, add to, or subtract from, but may include:
What qualities do I ascribe to?
What are past qualities that I believed of myself, what future ones do I desire?
Who or what events have limited the views I have of myself?

With these written down and glanced over take some deep breathes and center on where you are and what the sensations are around you and within your body.

Let yourself drift through yourself taking note of how amazing and seemingly magical it is to be able to have the sensing abilties you have, the beauty of how yoru body functions and the qualities of this.

As you work your way from your feet up through your body come to focus on your mind and that aspect of your heart that leads to your dreams, desires, and core self.
Connect with this center and focus on the limitlessness of it, the beauty, the love, and the gifts it has. Come around to not just looking and focusing but feeling the qualities that make up this core, that make up who you are.
Continue to journey through your core and bring in memories that exhibit the qualities of limitlessness, of imagination, faith, love, and trust. Let these memories grow or fade as you attract the qualities you need, desire, or are led to embrace through your core. Noting you can always alter, always pull towards or push away, that you are without bounds.

As you finish this visualization come slowly back bringing the sensations to your conscious mind. First refreshing your conection throughout your body then with the world around you let your conscious mind awaken further. Open your eyes slowly and let your mind drift through what you felt, let your heart be a guide, and your body be a reminder.

Write down either answers to the questions you posed or of the journey you went on and how you felt during it and now.

You might decide if there are qualities about yourself, those around you, the situations you are in that need to be reassessed or altered. Remembering that the choice is yours to perceive how you chose the events and circumstances of your experience and through this you are limitless and have the choice to embrace the most excellent qualities of yourself and the world around you!
